Product failure
Posted by Screeden on 09/23/2003
GEORGIA -- I recently painted my garage floor with the Home Depot (BEHR) 1 part epoxy. I followed the instructions to the letter. I degreased, I acid etched, I primed then put 2 coats of the coatings and 1 clear coat. it looked GREAT until it rained. When I backed out of the garage i heard this ripping sound, all four tires had lifted off the coatings. Behr responded with "WE WILL REFUND YOUR MONEY" that's great but that is not what I wanted. I spent over 2 weeks on this project and was inconvenienced for longer than that by having to park outdoors. BEHR needs to inform consumers of this defect in the product, correct it or stop selling the product.

Home Depot and Wood Floors
Posted by Gus419 on 10/27/2003
PENSACOLA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA -- Dear Mr. Nardelli,
I would like to bring to your attention a problem I had with the management at Home Depot, Inc., and I hope someone can do something about it. . This incident has left me quite annoyed
About 6 months after Home Depot from the Florida Pensacola store installed my Bruce hard wood floor, the Floor came unglued! they came and fixed it and said if any more planks come up call us. Many more planks came up! I called Home the Depot and the Floor Manger came to my home, as well as the Bruce floor rep, the installer, and his worker. they took up a plank and sent it to the Bruce lab. The Bruce Rep did a moisture Test 2 times, the same Day the plank was pulled up in front of the installer, Home Depot manager, the installers worker, my wife and myself, no moisture was found, the lab report came back and said it appeared to be installation/site related, including but not limited , to indication of moisture present, substance from the sub floor pulled up by glue there was also indications or undulations in the sub floor.
Then Home Depot called and said we will replace the whole floor, come to the store and pick out the one you want, my wife and I picked out the floor and they said it will take 2 weeks to come in, we waited 2 weeks and called and now they said we are working on it. and they don't know how long it will take, I called customer care as well and I was told it is in the legal dept. they are trying to get Bruce to pay for it.
I had contacted the Store again and they said there is nothing we can do for you anymore goodbye! Bruce did give me $500.00 to help me out somewhat! Home Depot did nothing but gave me a big runaround I went with Home Depot because the said they will stand behind their work!! the house is 2 years old and I had a bad floor for 2 years I think I waited long enough. I have a lifetime warranty on the install, and 15 years on the finish to this Day Home Depot did nothing for me! And now it going to cost me about $7,500 to replace.. P.S I just received a letter today from the Better Business Bureau stating to this Date we have not received the courtesy of a written reply from the company concerning your complaint..
As a result of this incident I will do everything I can to avoid Home Depot, Inc. in the future, and I will certainly advise others to avoid your store.
Here's what I'd like to see happen: Keep their word and fix my floor!! or return my money
I hope you are willing to address my concerns. I look forward to receiving a response within 10 business days.
Sincerely Gus B "Milton Florida"

Some advice to all about Home Depot, just go on your computer and search for home depot complaints . Then decide if this is the Store for me!!
Posted by stupid people on 2004-03-11:
oh please!!! the only reason home depot has more complaints then lowes and stuff is because home depot is much bigger then lowes whcih means more stores, more customers to complain about little stupid things.. if the floor comes up like that then its bruce floors who is at fault or who installed it which is just a contractors they dont really work for home depot. home depot just sells the stuff...

Bad Experience with wood floor installation
Posted by Hana on 11/08/2007
August 27, 2007
In January 2006, we purchased hardwood floors at Home Depot, Arlington, Texas 76011
The floors were installed by Cooper Flooring
Carrollton, Texas 75006
After the floor was installed, my husband wrote a note in the comment section of he sign off sheet, that we were dissatisfied with the installation and that some of the boards were damaged when installed. Also the molding was not flush to the wall in the dinning area. We really thought that someone from Home Depot would contact us about our comments of dissatisfaction. No one called. After a few weeks we started trying to contact someone at Home Depot to help us. We tried numerous times to contact Home Depot to tell them of our concern in regards to the floor and the installation. No one seemed to be too concerned. At one time, my husband and I went to the flooring department at Home Depot and spoke with the salesman in that department and told him that one of the boards had come up on the end and was splintering and a small part had even broken off. The salesman told us we could probably just super glue it back down. I told him, I did not think that would look very good. During the year we tried many times to get help from Home Depot on this matter, with no success.
Finally around March of 2007, I took the paperwork, which showed where my husband had written the remarks in the comment section for the sign off on the installation (of our dissatisfaction), to the store along with the piece of the wood that broken off, and spoke with a Brad at the service desk. I showed him the paperwork where we signed off with dissatisfaction. He said he had no notes where we had been in or called. I told him we had called on numerous occasions, each time thinking someone would contact us. He said the warranty was out and did not know if there was anything that could be done. I told him, we had tried many times to get someone to help us with this problem for a year. He said he would see what he could do. After a couple of weeks, Laura from Home Depot, called and said she had taken over for Brad.
She seemed really interested in helping us get this resolved and I felt like finally someone was interested in getting this resolved. She arranged for a private inspector to come and inspect the floor. Did not hear from Home Depot for several days so I contacted Laura to find results of inspection. The inspector had determined that some boards did need to be replaced. I was given the number to Cooper Flooring and told to call them. This was the first time that I realized that we needed to have someone else involved in our problem. I thought everything was handled by Home Depot and did not realize I was responsible for notifying other parties. It took several days and several calls before they made arrangements for us to pick up one box of wood from Home Depot, which Home Depot had authorized. They were going to repair our floor. This was in April of 2007. At last we felt we would get our problem resolved.
June 20, 2007
Mario, from Cooper Flooring came to repair our floor. I was not sure just what he was going to do. Mario came in and looked around and was surprised to see all the damaged wood and the bad installation. He shook his head and asked "who did this installation?" We told him someone from Cooper Flooring. There were gaps in between boards and also end to end. After looking at the installation and the damaged boards, Mario concluded that it would take 4 'more' boxes of wood to do the repair work.(I was told by Cooper Flooring that Mario was an expert and that repairs was his expertise…so I trusted what Mario said as truth) He said you have to replace a section, not just 'a board'.
He was on the phone with Cooper Flooring and Home Depot for quite a while, discussing this matter. After he completed his conversation, he told me that Home Depot wanted to talk to me. Laura said she would get back with me. She never called and after several days I called her back and she finally told me to make arrangements to pick up '4 more boxes of wood' and they would pay to repair the floor. Once again, I felt the wait would be worth it. My husband went to Home Depot to pick up the other 4 boxes of wood.
July 3, 2007
Roger and crew from Cooper Flooring showed up to do repair. Roger and crew started getting the boards out to measure what they needed and then said "we have a problem", "they boards are not the right length". They had to call their boss to see what to do. While they waited for the boss to make a decision, they talked about the way the floor was installed. They noticed the gaps in between and end to end and said they "use the blue tape to hold the boards so there won't leave gaps like this, when they do installations". They also said it looked like the "top layer of wood was coming off". They also said the "molding should have been nailed to the wall and putted if necessary". The molding in the dining room, which my husband noted in the comments on the sign off sheet, was not even nailed to the wall, and was not even flush to the wall. It is my opinion that they felt like, from their remarks, that it was not a good installation. Mario, the first repairman that came, out seemed to fill the same way, from his comments. Finally, Laura from Home Depot called me back and said the repairmen found only '4 boards out of the entire 5 boxes' of wood that would fit and that would be all they would repair. She said she cannot continue to send out boxes of wood. I told her we could not continue to pick up boxes of wood either. She said they could repair only the 4 boards or I could take them to court if I wanted to.
Roger said they could only replace the 4 boards that they were authorized to do. He said they could put wood putty in between all the gaps in the floor. That is not 'fixing our problem' in my opinion. I think that wood putty on expensive wood floors would look awful. I told Roger and his crew just to leave, that replacing only the 4 boards would not fix the problem. We paid good money for this floor and to half way patch up the job is a messy fix is not acceptable. I called customer service and spoke with Nicole.
I told Nicole my concerns. She tried to get Laura Lee on the phone but could not get her. I spoke with Nicole the next day and she said she spoke with a manager from home depot and the manager would get with Laura and find out what is going on. She said they would call me that same day. I did not hear from Home Depot the next couple of days and I tried to contact Nicole several times and could not reach her. I spoke with a Michelle at Customer care on August 3, 2007 and she pulled up my records and said she would email Nicole and tell her that I had not heard from home depot. I did not hear from Nicole the next morning so I called her. She apologized and said she had been sick.
On Monday, August 6, 2007 I heard from Laura Lee at home depot. She said 'evidently you contacted someone at customer care…then she asked me "what is it that you want?" I told her I wanted my floor fixed. She said the guys replaced the 4 boards and that was all they were going to do. I told her that they had not replaced any of them. I asked her," I have 5 boxes of wood and that only 4 boards was all that would fit"? She said they were only going to replace the "delaminated boards". I asked her what a delaminated board was and she could not tell me. She said I would have to call Armstrong Flooring to find out. She was not too happy at this time. and seemed irritated that I had called customer care.
She then changed her mind and said she would have Armstrong to come out and do another inspection..
On August 14, 2007, an Armstrong inspector came out. He said he would get the report to the retailer the next day. He said I should hear from the retailer within 1 week.
The report was supposed to be turned in on August 15,2007 according to the inspector and I never heard from Home Depot. Finally on August 27, 2007 to pay for installation and repair of only "2" boards according to the report. This is only for the damaged boards according to Armstrong, the wood floor supplier, and nothing to do with the installation.
Home Depot and Cooper Flooring must have felt some responsibility and wanted to make things right by supplying us with one box of wood to use to repair the floor after the examination was done by first inspector. I did not know how much one box would repair. They also much have had some confidence in the repairman, Mario's judgment in determining that we needed another 4 boxes of wood to repair the floor to a reasonable fix, or they would not have had us to pick up 4 more boxes of wood. I fell that Home Depot is responsible for a good installation and damaged boards. A messy fix and wood putty is not acceptable. I am not sure why the boards did not 'fit', but Home Depot should know about wood installations better than us. We have 5 boxes of engineered wood still setting in our living room floor.
We have more than 1 issue, the boards and the installation. If Armstrong Flooring is responsible for replacing only delimited boards, maybe there were only 2, I am not sure, since I do not know what delimited means. However there are splintered and damaged boards. Also, I think that the installation is a big factor and that Home Depot and Cooper Flooring should be held responsible for this. We have done much business with Home Depot, but will not in the future.
Saturday, September 1, 2007, I received a call from Amber at Customer Care for Home Depot. She said my case had been transferred from Nicole to her. She asked me if a resolution had been made to my satisfaction after the last inspection. I told her that I was not satisfied with the last phone message I had from Laura. She told me to call Laura at Home Depot and see if we can work it out. I told her that Laura would probably tell me to take a hike, that the message that she left me was all they were willing to do. I called Laura in the AM on Sept 2, 2007. A lady that worked there said Laura Lee just left to go pick up a prescription and she would be right back. I asked her if I could leave a message, she said yes. I left my name and number and asked her to call me. I did not receive a call from her all day on the 2nd.
In a week or so, Amber, from customer care called me and asked if I had gotten a confirmation number from Home Depot as to the results of the last investigation. I told her I had not heard back from Home Depot since I last talked to her. That was when Laura had called and left a message on my message machine saying that Armstrong would only replace 2 boards and she did not give me a confirmation number. I told her again of my dissatisfaction and frustration. She said she would look in my file and see if she could find any notes where we had called during the first year. She said that customer care was only obligated to honor the warranty and if a store takes it upon itself to go beyond that, it would be up to the independent store to take care of any situation. She told me if she found anything she would call me back.
September 7, 2007 and I have not heard back from Customer care. I suppose that Amber did not find any thing that would help us. I did receive a call from Laura at Home Depot today. She was very nice and said she had not heard back from me since she left the message that Armstrong would only replace the 2 boards and wondered what I wanted them to do. I told her I was not happy with the wood or the installation and did not think that replacing the 2 boards would solve anything for us. Laura said she would talk to her zone manager and have him to call us Monday or Tuesday of next week. She said he could do more on his level than she could. She was very nice and seemed to want to get this resolved.

Wow, this is some novel. I did read it all though. I think if you have documentation to support everything you say then file a small claims suit and list all of the above as defendants. I'm no lawyer but it reads like you have a decent case.

Home Depot Flooring Scams
Posted by Chalyse on 01/18/2008
ILLINOIS -- Thank goodness for the reviews on here ... I finally got so suspicious that I did a quick internet search on Home Depot flooring and found nearly the exact same rip-off being pulled on me.
December 24, 2007 I was in Home Depot buying some vinyl flooring pieces in preparation for selling my home 'as-is' (no guarantees) and was pulled aside to be told about carpeting on clearance that, with mat and install on 600 square feet, would be around $500. I had the measuring guy out and he said they'd have to inspect for sub-flooring problems (old house, some plywood subfloor is worn/damaged and needs replacing).
I take another day off work, they send out a sub-contractor to do the inspection, he says he's only install not subfloor and heads out the door, giving me the name and number of yet another guy who promises to show up by afternoon. he arrives 9 pm and says he'll come up with an estimate, but that since he's independent (not subcontracted to HD) can't guarantee they'll honor the carpet install work after he's done.
i call the manager and she tries to tell me (like others here) that they never said they'd install at the price quoted (i have the quote) and that they needed to send another inspector from another sub-contractor because the previous ones had been 'in error'.
fully a month later, the 'correct' subflooring guy shows up, says he'd need to replace all subflooring, and only if they get contract to do the job 'at whatever it costs to repair flooring' will they start job and know if they require joists to be replaced ... and perhaps will want to replace the entire flooring structure on one room (originally a three-season room, converted to extra bedroom 20 years ago)...and as a final potential mark-up... that he thinks the vinyl flooring in one room has asbestos materials in it (ka-ching!).
i ran a sample of the 'asbestos material' down to a certified lab today, it has absolutely no asbestos in it. that was my epiphany. one month, all bait and switch tactics and no estimate without my agreeing to writing them a blank check.
it was enough to send me on the internet to find out if this was happening to others. indeed, here are all the outrageous stories - late this afternoon HD and I agreed to part ways. I lost $130 on inspections that lead nowhere ... and two full days of work ... not to mention a full month off the timeline I have for putting the house on market.
I've now called three other companies who do not have horrible reviews showing up on the internt (one chain, two local) and whoever quotes the lowest gets my business.

Flooring Review
Posted by Mattyrn on 10/18/2005
KISSIMMEE, FLORIDA -- On August 12, 2005 I purchased Travertine Tile on sale at The Home Depot in Kissimmee, 4 pallets(104 boxes). At that time I also put in for an estimate for the tile to be put in my home. The measure was supposed to be done in three days....I called when no one showed up on the day of the measure and was told my measure date got mixed up. A week later my floors were measured. I waited several days for the estimate, when I called to find out about it I was told that I needed to pick out a grout color for the estimate to be complete.
I went to The Home Depot on August 25 and picked a grout color out. While I was there I decided that I wanted the tile I had purchased to be delivered to my home. I paid for delivery and it was supposed to arrive at my house in 3 days. It was never delivered. I called The Home Depot and was told a delivery date was not yet set up....So I set up another delivery date. The tile was never delivered.
This time when I called Sept 2, 2005. I was told the tile had been sold to another customer and that the store was in the process of looking for tile for me. I spoke with several people at the store including the Manager Chris and the Assistant Manager Mildred and Anna. By the end of the day Mildred informed me there was no more tile like that to be found. I was told by Mildred that they were ordering more Travertine and that I could have my 4 pallets from that order. I told her that I would need to see it before I decided. She informed me that it would not be the same tile but if there was a difference in price that The Home Depot would make up the difference and deliver the tile to me at no extra charge.
On September 21, 2005 Mildred called to let me know "my" tile was in and to come down and look at it to make sure it was acceptable. I went to the Home Depot, looked at the tile, liked it as much, and told her that it was fine. I asked when it could be delivered. She left, came back in a few minutes and told me that I could not have that tile because it was $1 more a sq ft and that I would have to pay the $930 difference.
I just could not believe this. I had waited over a month for them to find me tile and now they were charging me for their mistake. I contacted The Home Depot Customer Care and found out that they can do nothing for their customers.
I was told that Mildred would be looking into finding me a "more comparable" tile.
It is now over two months later. I had not heard from Mildred, Customer Care, or the Home Depot so I called Customer Care again today, Oct 18. I was told that The Home Depot's only offer was to refund my money or I can go and pick a more expensive tile and receive 20% off. The last time I was at Home Depot (September 21) I had seen a sign offering all customers 20% off tile. I still want the original tile I had purchased, or at least the tile I was promised after they sold my tile to someone else.
This has been a complete nightmare and I wanted everyone to know that The Home Depot is not a customer oriented store and there is no place you can turn within the company for satisfaction.
Thanks for listening.
Oh, buy the way, I still have never received and estimate for installing the tile...The company states they lost the measurements.....good grief.

Next time get your material at a tile store. Use their tile Subs or hire youself tile setter. A very good one will charge you about $2.50 a s/f. Look in the Yellow Pages, Mostly good craftmen advertise there....Papi..

All What I Wanted Is A New Floor...
Posted by Cashu on 01/11/2010
TORONTO -- I ordered a wood floor for my basement at "home depot". the basement was measured twice and payment done. upon delivering the boxes of wood, about one week before installment I came back to the store (#7073) wondering if 8 boxes will cover the space and was promised that it is the right amount.
On the first installment day (by 2 people) after about 70% of the floor was done I was told by the senior of them that "engineered wood" is not suitable for my sub-floor..the two took apart the floor piece by piece and left. the "senior installer" returned after 4 days and installed the "engineered floor" using the "nail method". According to him, "engineered floor" can be nailed as well as glued, and it is even written on the box (made in Quebec, Canada).too bad he did not have that information on the same day he installed the floor, in spite of many frantic phone calls to his office.
By that time he realized that there is not enough wood to cover the floor. it was on a weekend and I had to wait until Monday to discover that the supply of the 2 boxes (20% of the floor, not a small mistake of calculation) will take at least 2-3 weeks because it is a "special order". my floor is "Santos Mahogany", a regular stock item made in Canada and not in china. 3 weeks later the senior installer came to complete the job with the 2 boxes - colour is not a good match to what was already done.
Upon installing the "quarter round" finish he shut a nail straight to the main water pipe of the house...that was on December 18 and was discovered only on January 04, 2010.the nail plugged the hole and the leak of water was minor but after few days damaged some area of the new floor which is close to the pipe. the installer was aware of the water-pipe and worked around it with the floor. the "city" had to come and shut off the main water supply from the street to have the plumber pull out the nail and repair the hole. 2 holes, since thew nail went all the way through the pipe to the other side. I took good pictures with a "close up" showing the nail through the pipe. i also took pictures on the first day of installment before they took it apart.
I transferred the photos to "home depot" and notify (to Anna, who did report to Graham).i thought that Home Depot will send someone to fix the damage floor, as well as compensate me for my plumbing expanses. I had to take off 2 extra days from work to deal with the water pipe, I had no water the whole day until midnight. my house was in chaos from November 26, 2009 until January 04,2010. and what Mr. Graham (from store # 7073) had to say about it? he suggested that I will call a very simple #, 1-800-home-depot, and promised that someone will "call me within 72 hours" regarding repairing the damage, plumbing expenses...no one called. the customer does not know who is the company who is installing the product and simply "fall between the chairs". Home Depot was not the less expensive estimate I got before the job (i got 3) but I choose them because I thought they know what they are doing. BIG MISTAKE. it is a warning: don't order any services from them because if there is a problem no one cares.
one more bitter customer,
Dalya Nussbaum

Home Depot Installation is a SCAM!
Posted by Ratlie on 11/30/2010
I ordered a complete house flooring install from Home Depot after comparing with other companies. It was over $5000. They were so nice up front and sent someone out to measure the house. I notified not only Home Depot but also the measurement company that we had one room that was badly soiled from pets due to keeping them in there during an ice storm outtage while we were at a hotel. Both Home Depot and the measurement company made no issue of this fact up front. They gladly accepted my money for the job. Then the trouble started. First of all I got no call to set up the install. I called and the lady said oh sorry I thought you had been called. There is some confusion I will get back to you on that. So she did call back and they were scheduled to come out on a Monday between 8 and 10 am. I finally got a call that Monday about 930 saying they would be late because they were doing another job. The installer which was one man for a full house didn't show up until 1200. My husband and I both took off this day. He shows up and starts remeasuring the whole house telling me we'd need new items for the install. Then he says I will need to go by felt pads to keep the floor from getting scratched. I ask him where to get those and he says "Lowe's". This was a man representing Home Depot!!! So he tells me he needs to go out to his truck and make some calls because he's got to do some renegotiation because he wasn't getting paid enough for this job. Then he comes back in and I asked him point blank "Are you going to leave me hanging with concrete floors?" and he said "No ma'm we will get you taken care of." He then went to my bedroom moved all of the furniture and took my bed apart. After that he came in and said he needed to run to Lowe's (again he works for Home Depot) and get some supplies. Meanwhile I call Home Depot and they tell me because of the soiled carpet they will not do the job. So I have to remove it myself if I want it done. Well it's now 230 pm and my husband and I have wasted a day off work and can't take any more time. I told Home Depot this should have been made aware to me up front and that both the measure company that assigned this man to the job and Home Depot were aware of the situation. The operations manager at Home Depot was very unapologetic. She had a very uninterested attitude. When I asked for my money back of which I paid in cash they told me it would take 3 weeks to get it back by a mailed check because it was policy. I asked the ops manager again if she could call a higher manager and she said well no they are in conference calls. I said "All of them" and she said yes. I said when will they be done. She said 4 pm. So I told her to call me back at 430. Strangely they were finished well before 4 pm. But now the story was that they could give me back cash but it may take up to 3 weeks for the store to acquire that much cash.
After talking to the store manager and asked for the regional manager to call me which still has yet to happen I am finally getting my cash back. I called Lowe's and they immediately said yes we want your business we have no problems with the install and we will be out there to do it as soon as you sign the contract.
Lesson learned: Home Depot takes your money but then tries to get away with doing a half way job. Never again will I shop at Home Depot.

My name is Erfon, and I am with Home Depot's customer care. I have read your review and apologize about all the troubles you had with your flooring install. This is certainly not the way we want to treat our customers at Home Depot, and I completely understand how you would want your money back in this situation. I am more than happy to discuss this with you and obtain more information. Please feel free to email me, if I can help in any way.
Thank You,

I'm Done With Home Depot
Posted by Crossface on 05/18/2010
MARYLAND -- From the day the measurement was taken, I questioned the service I would get from the Home Depot. Their website describes in detail, how the installation process would go, yet the Home Depot failed to deliver on that description. Steps that were supposed to be done according to the website, were not done by the people who work for the Home Depot. My installation coordinator was no help in the process, and seemed disinterested and confrontational from the start. Then the actual installation was bad, because the installers were careless and let a gray liquid leak into my basement, all over my wall, ceiling tile, and carpet. While the installers did work hard in cleaning up the mess they made, there are still visual clues all over the house that this event happened. When I asked Home Depot to compensate me for this process, I was told all they could do was a very cheap giftcard. This installation process cost me almost $2,000, plus the extra time and effort it will take me to get my house fully back in order. I'm done shopping there, and will never step foot into another Home Depot.

Experience With Home Depot Was A Nightmare!!!!!
Posted by Texas Lady on 09/02/2009
WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS -- My husband and I have never had such a horrible experience buying from a company. NEVER!!! It took Home Depot over three months to complete our wood floors, and one of our hallways was bare concrete during that entire time. They under-ordered our wood; supposedly lost the order at least twice; and waited until they had ripped out all of our carpet to tell us they couldn't proceed until we paid for a 'leveling product,' which cost us over $1,000 more than the price we were originally quoted. In fact, they stopped working twice and told us that we had to go to the store and pay for more product before they could do anymore work. Then, they assured us the product would level the concrete slab, so that when they put the wood flooring in, which had to be glued, it would stick. In the end, there were at least six or seven hollow spots under the floor where the wood was loose, and some of those areas were huge! My husband had to take off work entire days to go to the Home Depot store to find out why it was taking so long to get our wood flooring and when they would finish the floors. He was passed from one employee to another, and it seemed that no one EVER knew anything, nor did they seem to care. We refuse to buy anything from Home Depot ever again, and I am making it my mission in life to tell everyone I know to avoid them like the plague! My husband, who has always been perfectly healthy, actually started having heart problems during the whole nightmarish ordeal. By the way, when they came out to fix the spots where the wood flooring was loose, they drilled holes to squirt in liquid cement and then left without puttying several of the holes. These people wouldn't know how to do a decent job if their lives depended upon it.

I had a very similar experience with a local home depot.
They came to install our carpet in 1 room and the hallway. they had come out and measured 3 weeks before hand. When they showed up they didn't have enough carpet for the hallway or to finish the room. I told them to pull up the carpet they had laid and leave, I was going else where. They fought me about it for a about 2 weeks but once I showed them the letter that was going to be published in the local paper they caved. Pulled the carpet, refunded all of my money and I received a form letter apology from the HD home offices.
That was 4 years ago and I have never been back there

Illegal Charges for Installation - Won't refund
Posted by Bimmer-rr on 03/27/2006
BELLINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS -- I contracted with Home Depot to have them install a ceramic tile kitchen floor, ceramic tile backsplash, and Silestone countertop. Home Depot was responsible for the measurements and installation of all three projects. In the case of the backsplash, the job was grossly overestimated. I paid for materials and installation of 216 square feet of backsplash. Only after the job was completed, when eleven (11) of the fourteen (14) cartons of tile were left in my garage, did I realize how much I had overpaid. The prepaid labor on these eleven (11) cartons came to $1,013.49 (labor at $5.55 per sq. foot). In addition, Home Depot double charges for the border tile, charging an additional $5.00 per linear foot for border tiles, without reducing the estimated square footage of the backsplash tile. Finally I was charged for more wall outlets that were not present.
My kitchen floor experience was similar, although not as grossly overestimated. I paid for installation 472 square feet of ceramic tile (at $7.97 per sq. foot). When the job was completed, I had two unopened cartons of tile (for which installation was prepaid).
Home Depot refused to refund the labor charge on unopened cartons of tile. The store management cites an "industry standard" policy of "materials handled". According to this policy, if the installer simply brings the cartons of tile to your house, you must pay for installation regardless of whether the cartons were even opened. For the kitchen floor, this resulted in an unethical, and I believe illegal overcharge of $271.00.
The store refuses to refund this overcharge. Home Depot corporate refuses to credit this amount unless a sign a "settlement and release" agreement that requires me to:
"fully release and discharge Home Depot, and its officers and employees from any and all claims, causes of action, and liability of every kind which customer had or may have arising from or concerning The Transaction."
I don't believe anyone should have to sign such a release for an unethical and illegal overcharge.

I'm assuming the installation is complete. If you're satisfied with the job and are comfortable that it was done correctly (important), consider signing the release. Unless another problem arises, a court case would still only be for the overcharges, which they are willing to pay right now. Be it weak or not, they also feel they could litigate the right to keep that money and their contract may back it. Releases are not that uncommon with pressing customers. They're basically saying, if we give you what you want to go away, then go away you will. It's a concession, consider signing it or you may not see that offer again.
Posted by dsmith68 on 2006-03-28:
You could also learn to do such projects yourself if you are physically able. There are stacks of books at the local library. Also Black and Decker has a great flooring project book. Tiling is not that difficult providing you can physically crawl on the floor. Would have saved you thousands of dollars.
Posted by Mad Eye Moody on 2006-03-28:
Slim - good post. I'm not sure about the industry standard thing, Viper...I'd call Lowes and see if you could get that verified. Also about the release...like slim said, if your satisfied then take what they're offering. They could, under protection of the original terms of the work order, give you nothing. Return the unused product for the full refund. DsSmith...you're right, too...I've saved a ton of $ installing stuff myself. It took longer...and maybe isn't AS perfect as it might be if I had it done by a contractor...but it was therapeudic if nothing else.
Posted by KenPC on 2006-03-28:
I would file a small claims action on this. In most states you can file for triple damages in cases of unfair and deceptive business practices. They are well aware that their case will not stand up in front of a magistrate, and they will reimburse you rather than defend it in court.
Posted by WWYD on 2008-11-26:
This is not an industry standard.
My own theory is they've over-charged you more than you realize and are hoping you won't catch on.

Check this pattern for a knit beet by Berroco. I love the leaf veining and frilled edges. What I would actually do with a knit beet beyond have it sit on my desk looking pretty is beyond me, but so what. It's a beet! Made of yarn!
I'm imagining leaves knit in shades of burgundy to resemble my favourite beet variety, 'Bull's Blood.' Or a beet in stripes of white and red as an interpretation of the Chioggia'. No one has to know the 'Chioggia' is solid red on the outside. It's art!

Owner received this email today- had to share..... – Yesterday I ordered the arrangement, Pastel Puzzle, for delivery to an acquaintance who had been very kind to us. She works in Human Resources at Universal Orlando.
First let me say that your customer service was both friendly and helpful and I appreciate the tip about ordering Pastel Puzzle. Also, your web site is awesome, both user friendly and beautiful. Anyway, the person who received the flowers wrote the following to my husband's sister:
I will begin by saying I had a HORRIFIC beginning of the day – and mid afternoon, your sweet brother and sister-in-law turned it around!!!
I walked back into my office to find the most beautiful arrangement of flowers on my desk! They were lovely to look at and amazing to smell.
Thank you for your service, which blessed my morning and for your time and talents that turned around a bad day for our friend. Your work makes a positive difference in people's lives.
The whole experience with Windermere Flowers and Gifts was rewarding and pleasant. So refreshing in today's world. Thank you!!
God bless you,
Great Service – I received an arrangement from this shop a few months ago, and I have used them ever since. My flowers seemed to last forever! I know next to nothing about flowers, but the owner and staff walk me through the occasion and never fail to "Wow" whoever I send them to. I can't say enough about the service and creativity of the staff.
Amazing modern designs and quality – We recently held a party and asked Windermere Flowers & Gufts for several table decorations with a tropical theme, they did a fantastic job, with a huge center piece for the buffet table, several small arrangements for occassional tables and the most admired piece was a huge margarita glass with tropicals, sugar canes, green foam and a salted edge finish, everybody thought it was wonderful and asked for the florist's card. Windermere Flowers & Gifts have brought a breath of fresh air to the area for modern, sleek designs, keep up the excellent work

We had CLEAN bed sheets, bathroom and toilet was also clean. A guy that gave us the keys was very kind and everytime we went into the hostel he asked 'ciao, tutto bene?' :) Positive experience. Very low cost but CLEAN. "

- " The receptionist was very rude and unaccommodating and seemed intent on finding reasons to deny me access or charge me inflated prices. I eventually reserved the room I saw online right there in his presence, and he still sought to deny me based on "his experience" and "possibilities." He eventually became aggressive and put his hands on me. The only reason I didn't press charges for assault (and discrimination) is that I had no time before I left Rome the next day. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! "

- " The hotel was not clean, the storage area that the baggage was kept in after check-out was not locked so felt like it was an unsecure area, close to the exit. Upon arrival back to the hostel for baggage there was no front desk worker, even though the office hours are stated as 7am to 12pm. Other hostels i have been in have provided two sheets instead of one, so you would not have to sleep with the blanet directly, also our bathroom was not clean and the whole room has a very unpleasent smell.

GORE-TEX® Active Shell: Provides extreme breathability along with durable waterproof and windproof protection for all-weather, high-aerobic activities. It combines a lighter, thinner GORE-TEX® membrane, with fine denier performance textiles to deliver a streamlined three-layer construction. New for Spring '12, this brings a never-before-seen level of comfort performance to waterproof apparel.
GORE-TEX® Paclite®: Combining extreme breathability and durable wind and waterproof protection with minimum weight and pack volume, GORE-TEX® Paclite® shells use a specific membrane with a protective internal layer made of an oil-hating/carbon hybrid – eliminating the need for a separate lining, making this lighter, smaller, and easier to pack away.
GORE-TEX® Performance Shell: Specifically engineered to form an impenetrable barrier against wind and water while maintaining breathability, this waterproof material uses a two-layer construction for a lighter, softer feel – and in a three-layer construction for a more heavy-duty alternative.

Slashing away at safety net
Almost all of Connecticut's 29 acute-care hospitals struggle financially because they lose hundreds of millions every year caring for the uninsured and underinsured, reports the Connecticut Hospital Association. This impairs their ability "to meet today's obligations and prepare for tomorrow."
Now in the predawn of Obamacare, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy proposes to push this dire situation toward catastrophic for almost all hospitals by halving their reimbursements for uncompensated care next year and eliminating them the year after. He estimates this would save his administration $548 million, which he would apply to his $1.9 billion spending increase in the next biennium. This reduction would be in addition to the $100 million in cuts in reimbursements imposed in December to compensate for runaway government spending this fiscal year.

GreatSchools Rating
This middle school is the best in the city. It is very diverse and educational wise, it is outstanding. It is close to Tenleytown so the students can hang out after school. It also has a bus stop just across the street. The principal is currently working to add a bus shelter so students do not need to wait in the rain. We are adding a new expansion, and it should be done by next year if all goes well (I personally do not think it will be completed in time). We have many laptop and iPad carts, and four desktops in each classroom. At recess students can choose to either go outside or go to the library, except if they didn't do their homework or want to study, which in that case they can go up to ZAP (zeroes are not permitted). If the student was late to school, they will have to serve lunch detention. Deal has tons of extracurricular activities and sports for after school. On Thursdays, we have shorter class periods so that we have time for an activity at the end of the day (they vary depending on the week). Deal allows sixth graders to choose a language to take for their next three years from Chinese, French, and Spanish.
DO NOT PUT YOUR KIDS IN A SCHOOL THAT YOU KNOW WILL NOT CHALLENGE THEM BECAUSE IT IS A CONVENIENCE FOR YOU. The school offers language courses in either Spanish, French or Chinese that a student will take for all three years and in 8th grade will travel to the country of that language. Deal offers many opportunities for its students. In conclusion, Deal is an amazing, diverse, challenging, and interesting community for every type of student. Despite its flaws and annoying dwellers, I have to say is the best school in DC. Your child will be upset about being late or missing a day at school. *** In 7th and 8th grade, make sure you stay on top of your childs progress. Make sure they get their work in on time, completed, understand their work, get to school everyday, on-time, and have great respectful relationships with their teachers, participate in class and maintain a good reputation because all of these factors add up to your child being excepted into a good high school such as School Without Walls.
Deal does not properly embrace students with learning disabilities. The classroom set up is not accommodating for LD students. The students are often times in overcrowded classes with a regular education and special education teacher combined. It is often distracting and makes it difficult for the students to stay focused or concentrate. The school has the typical resources that are typical for special education students but do not apply to the fact that all LD children learn differently and their cases are not the same. My child has several learning disabilities and is at the low primary levels of education. My child is also being treated for ADHD and requires a lot of one on one assistance from teachers. The classwork and homework is often not modified according to her IEP. Although the school is fairly decent, it needs MAJOR improvements to it's special education department. If the students are assimilated into regular classrooms more must be done to include them. I recently had a teacher tell me that it was unfair that her special education teacher had to spend the entire class period working one on one with my child and could not help other kids in the class.
I am a parent of an 8th grader and our daughter also attended 7th grade for about 1/2 of the school term. My husband and I both feel that Deal does a really great job in organizing the students and keeping them in a discipline but very respectful environment. The educators and especially Principal Albright all do a fine job in not only running a tight ship but also in being very nurturing, kind, and caring toward the students at Deal. This is especially visible in how comfortable the students are with chatting and even confiding in their educators. We enjoy having Mrs. McFarland as our daughter's counselor because she indeeds has her finger on the pulse of the age group at Deal. She works with the teenagers in a way that positively impacts the student's young lives. We are very happy that our school provides so much for our family!
Most teachers and staff are well educated and encourage me to try my very hardest. The teachers give a reasonable amount of homework. Alice Deal offers many after school clubs. The reason I did not give my middle school a higher rating is because, at sometimes this school can have it's negatives. Being a girl at Alice Deal be prepared to face the wrath of Dress Code. For girls, you cannot show any type of bra strap or cleavage. Which is harder than you think! If your bra strap is accidentally shown on your shoulder you have to change in your gym uniform or one from the lost and found! Same with cleavage, lately they told us we are going on our annual field trip to King's Dominion!!! But they bombed on the girls a day before that you are not allowed to wear bikinis. This did not bother me that much... But the reason did. It is because they do not want to see our skin and stomach, yet the boys are wearing swim trunks which shows their skin and their stomach.... Also, Deal has just received trailers for the expansion, yet the bathrooms do not have a place to dispose of female napkins, you have to walk outside to throw it away. Overall, education wise this is a good school!
i go to deal, and i have to say, it is really amazing. i am in 6th grade, and the transition was easy, and all of the teachers are great. in addition to having language choices and great classes, the administrators and teachers still find time for things like winter assemblys. the only problem is some kids are really annoying and that can stop classes, but the teachers deal with it remarkably well. i totally recommend deal!
Alice Deal Middle School is an excellent middle school, and could even be called the best public middle in D.C. The teachers are fantastic, as well as the staff, who are, despite being busy, never mind having a chat with a parent or student! The education is challenging but rewarding, leaving many students with feelings of accomplishment after each year. My own son has improved his B- average grades in elementary school to an A average at Deal! However, there are a few issues that could be resolved with a few tweaks. There are many students at Deal, and many students are not from the surrounding communities. This means bullying is a prevalent issue, along with language among students and misbehavior. But these are small issues, besides the second one. Almost every day my son comes home and as he does his homework, he tells me about how many "ghetto" students use extremely foul language, and how lots of teachers don't do anything about it. he also tells me that they talk about inappropriate subjects, which I have experience first-hand while visiting once. If teachers and staff would pay more attention to this, I believe the issue would be solved. Deal rocks!! :)
im going to this school next year (7th grade) and a lot of my friends parents say this is a great school !!! they have many sports and extra-curricular activities. also their test scores are fantastic and they are a very diverse school
I want to congratulate Alice Deal's all teachers, staff and principal! I have two kids in 7th and 8th grades and I am very happy with the school, because it has excellent teachers, a strong leadership and relevant academic programs that really help to my kids. Congratulations for your work!!! Jose Marquez.
My child is a 7th grader at Deal and absolutely loves it. She is doing well academically and socially, and I am pleased with how well the school is managed. Its big, but organized in a way that enables the kids to feel part of a smaller community within the school. Her teachers and the assistant principal for her grade know her --- for good and for ill :) We have been pleased with the experience
My daughter is a six grader at Deal this year and the transition of bringing six graders into the school this year has been the best experience ever. The teachers are great, they really care about their students and stay on top of their studies and communicate well not only with the students but the parents as well. The administration staff is wonderful and they are always on point at all times. Ms. Kim is a great Principal, she encourages her student to achieve and excel for the best and to make sure that they are heading that way there is always available resources to help them achieve. The best thing I love there as a parent is Edline, it is the best tool a parent can have. It keeps you updated on your child grades at all times every school needs this tool.
Both of our children attended Deal and had wonderful educational and social experiences. The rich diversity of the school population, the strength and professionalism of the teachers and administrators, the International Baccalaureate program and the fully modernized building combine to create a wonderful learning environment.
All three of our children have gone to Deal, and it is amazing how the school has changed over the years. The renovation, leadership, faculty has brought new enthusiasm and positive energy.
I am an African-American parent of a 7th grader at Deal. My eldest son also attended Deal and is having a great time now at Wilson. Deal is an important school in the District because it demonstrates the important role that multicultural schools have in ridding the world of unwarranted fears, misconceptions, and negative stereotypes of groups outside of our own neighborhoods. Ms. Kim is an effective leader and in addition to demanding academic excellence from all students, understands that cultural fluency is an ideal to work toward each and every day.
Deal has been transformed into a fantastic school. My son's teachers know him well--his strengths and his weaknesses. They have motivated him to be a better student, and they have also gotten him excited about what they're teaching. I am also so impressed with how available they are after school and at lunchtime, if he needs extra help or has questions. They are also very responsive anytime I've had a question or concern. Deal is a positive, orderly school where the teachers expect a lot from their students but also offer plenty of support to help them succeed.

He probably bought his in a gas station on
the road to Ketchum, next to the cash register, among the beef jerky wrapped in cellophane. Or maybe in a tackle shop in Key West.
I had to go to some trouble to have this one made for you and me but it had to be done. The long bill, longer than I, at least, ever saw before, makes sense.
The visor: leather, soft and glareless and unaffected by repeated rain squalls. The color: same as strong scalding espresso, lemon peel on the side, somewhere in the mountains in the north of Italy.
Hemingway's Cap (No. 1537). Cotton blend canvas. 6 brass grommets for ventilation. Elastic at back to keep this treasure from blowing off your head and into the trees.

Hutchison and Vodafone have recently ganged up in Australia – while carriers ganging up is nothing new, this particular acquisition was interesting because of the 3LikeHome service which allows customers to use their handsets at the same price in all of Hutchson's networks.
I am happy to report that there will be no changes whatsoever. Hutchson 3G customers from all over the world can still use their mobiles on the joint network in Australia without any extra cost according to Tanya Bowes, press head of the joint company.

Product development plans, quarterly reports, partner SOWs, customer account data, design specs – the list of proprietary data that you need to keep safe goes on and on. So often, data security conversations focus on external threats – due to the huge uptick in malware and security breaches – yet, you can't ignore risks lurking within your own company walls.
According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, 13.4 percent of the total number of reported data breaches in 2011 were incidents of insider thefts. That figure represents malicious activities, but there are also a huge number of unintentional acts – with users completely unaware that they're sharing documents that include sensitive information. You have enough to worry about – as do your employees – which is why you want to make sure all enterprise content leaving your organization is automatically protected.
The good news is that we've made it easy. We have taken our strong focus on security a step further, allowing you to easily integrate Accellion file sharing with leading data loss prevention (DLP) platforms, including Symantec (Vontu), RSA, Fidelis, Palisades, Code Green Networks, and most recently, Websense. And, we're proud to say, that we're the only file sharing vendor that offers this ease of integration and protection.
You simply choose your preferred DLP solution, which inspects all data before it leaves your organization – scanning for confidential data (social security numbers, credit card numbers, product information, etc.) and blocking and/or quarantining file transfers that violate established policies. Basically, you establish the rules and we make sure that users follow them whenever they are sharing files. It's automated, integrated, and easy to use file sharing ntegrated with DLP – keeping your business in motion while safeguarding your most precious assets. Learn more.

Of the 528 families in Nevada helped by the program over the last year, 155 of those have been in Sparks — 32 percent of the total participants.
The program provides a free cash down payment equal to 4 percent of the home loan amount. The grant does not have to be repaid and it can also be used for closing costs since sellers are less likely to help with closing costs nowadays due to the competitive market.
"Somebody can get this down payment assistance and they don't ever have to pay it back or stay in the home for any period of time. Those two major benefits have just increased our originations dramatically over the past two years compared to our previous programs," Nicole Larrimore, Mortgage and Marketing Specialist for the Nevada Rural Housing Authority, said.
The program is not just for first time homebuyers or veterans. It was designed to help middle class, working Nevadans, who took the brunt of the housing bubble and the economic downturn.
The program was also created in order to help families compete with investors who are putting cash offers down on houses in order to accumulate rental properties. With the extra 4 percent, families can increase their offers and potentially outbid the investors.
"It really is helping our community right now, especially in the Sparks area because this low inventory is really hurting us right now," Larrimore said. "I'm just happy to be part of such a great program."
Currently, the program also offers a competitive 30-year fixed rate mortgage rate of 3.875 percent.
In order to use the program, a buyer must have a minimum 640 credit score, meet normal FHA, VA or RHS underwriting requirements, and not make more than $97,500 a year.
The home must be the primary residence, so investors cannot use this program. The home also must be purchased in rural Nevada (population of 150,000 or less), so that's a big reason Sparks is at the top of the list since homes within the city limits of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas and Reno are not included.
The home must cost less than $400,000.
Buyers are also required to take a homebuyer education course, which teaches information like how much money you should have in your savings account in case of emergencies or sudden loss of a job, so you can maintain that home without worrying about going into foreclosure or being forced to short sell.

Strep throat is a disease that causes a sore throat (pharyngitis). It is an infection with a germ called Group A Streptococcus bacteria.
Pharyngitis - streptococcal; Streptococcal pharyngitis
Strep throat is most common in children between ages 5 and 15, although anyone can get it.
Strep throat is spread by person-to-person contact with fluids from the nose or saliva. It commonly spreads among family or household members.
Symptoms may be mild or severe. You will often start to feel sick about 2 to 5 days after you come in contact with the strep germ.
may begin suddenly and is often highest on the second day. You may have chills.
You can have a red sore throat, sometimes with white patches. It may hurt to swallow. You may feel swollen, tender glands in your neck.
Other symptoms may include:
Some strains of strep throat can lead to a scarlet fever-like rash
. The rash first appears on the neck and chest. Then it spreads over the body. It may feel like sandpaper.
Many other causes of sore throat may have the same symptoms. Your health care provider must do a test to diagnose strep throat and decide whether you need to take antibiotics.
A rapid strep test can be done in most health care provider offices. However, it can be negative even if you have strep.
If the rapid strep test is negative and your health care provider still thinks you or your child may have strep, a throat swab can be tested (cultured) to see if strep grows from it. Results will take 1 to 2 days to come back.
Most sore throats are caused by viruses, not bacteria.
Sore throats should only be treated with antibiotics if the strep test is positive. Antibiotics are taken to prevent rare but more serious health problems, such as rheumatic fever.
Penicillin or amoxicillin is usually first tried. Antibiotics should be taken for 10 days, even though symptoms are usually gone after a few days.
The following tips may help your sore throat feel better:
Symptoms of strep throat usually get better in about 1 week. Untreated, strep can lead to serious complications.
In rare cases, strep throat can lead to rheumatic fever
if it is not treated. Strep throat may also cause a rare kidney complication called post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
Other complications may include:
Call if you develop the symptoms of strep throat. Also, call if you are being treated for strep throat and are not feeling better within 24 - 48 hours.
Most people with strep are contagious until they have been on antibiotics 24 - 48 hours. They should stay home from school, daycare, or work until they have been on antibiotics for at least a day.
Get a new toothbrush after you are no longer contagious, but before finishing the antibiotics. Otherwise the bacteria can live in the toothbrush and re-infect you when the antibiotics are done. Also, keep your family's toothbrushes and utensils separate, unless they have been washed.
If repeated cases of strep still occur in a family, you might check to see if someone is a strep carrier. Carriers have strep in their throats, but the bacteria do not make them sick. Sometimes, treating them can prevent others from getting strep throat.

By Josh Katzowitz cbssportsline.com
It's been seven years since Vince Young participated in his pro day while at the University of Texas, but since then, times have changed drastically for the No. 3 overall pick in 2006.
He had some good moments with the Titans and made two Pro Bowl teams before he launched into a verbal confrontation with then-coach Jeff Fisher in 2010, walked out on his team, and ended up getting released.
Now, Young needs a job, which is probably why he's going to participate in the 2013 University of Texas pro day and try to convince pro teams he can still be an asset.
It also seems like Young is trying to make amends these days. He says he sent a letter of apology to Fisher, and clearly, he's trying to pave the way for a potential NFL comeback.
"I definitely wanted to apologize for the things that I did," Young said on the NFL Network, via the Tennessean, on Wednesday. "Letting him know about the frustrations, all the different things that were going on in my life at the time and wanted him to know I really did appreciate him trying to make me become one of those type of leaders on the team and a successful quarterback. … At the time being immature and not paying attention and not listening and taking my frustrations out on a lot of people wasn't the right thing to do."
Young continues to remain confident in his abilities. After his stint in Tennessee, he said he was still elite, and in his interview this week, he claimed, "I really feel like I can do a much better job than a lot of, most quarterbacks in the league." He also said that his release from Buffalo had more to do with financial reasons than for the state of his game.
Here's the take of the Tennessan's Jim Wyatt: "Teams have seen Young enough by now. There's a reason why he hasn't resurfaced in the league after the Bills let him go. Part of it has to do with the questionable work ethic he showed while in Tennessee, though flaws in his game have also been exposed over the years. I'm not sure anyone gives Young another chance, although in a league where the trend is toward athletic quarterbacks, it's not outside the realm of possibility."
Perhaps, but after all these years, it seems rather unlikely as well.

Jan Davidsz de Heem
Still Life with Flowers in a Glass Bowl, after 1636
Oil on canvas 32 in. x 23 3/4 in. (81.28 cm x 60.33 cm)
Crocker Art Museum Purchase1971.1 Buy a print
Jan Davidsz. de Heem trained in his native city of Utrecht under the still-life painter Balthasar van der Ast. After attaining the status of independent master, he moved to Leiden in 1625, where he attained fame with his depictions of simple arrangements of objects, often including books and musical instruments. In this period, the dark tonality of Rembrandt, who was also active in Leiden, influenced him greatly.
After de Heem moved to the bustling merchant city of Antwerp in 1631, his paintings changed. The exotic riches of the port city inspired him to create the pronkstilleven, or sumptuous still life. These new paintings, while depicting precious objects and rare flowers, often included the theme of life's transience. Here, full-blown flowers, withering leaves, snails and spoiling fruit emphasize the passage of time. De Heem had a large studio and trained many other artists, including the painter Abraham Mignon. Though he traveled in the northern Netherlands, and to Utrecht in 1649 and 1665–72, de Heem's studio, and most of his activity, remained in Antwerp.
